[Haskell-beginners] Where to report an unfriendly feature (if not a bug) in `stack ghci`?

[Jeffrey Brown]

I don't know whether this is a problem with stack or with GHCI. But suppose
you've got a bunch of modules loaded, and the prompt is hard to read, so
you set it to something simpler like "> ". If you then use ":{" to enter a
multi-line block of code, the module names appear again at the prompt,
making the block you're entering very difficult to read.

Here's an example:
